(Solved)Asrock Z68 Fatal1y Pro Gen3 Dr.Debug Code 30?

Hi I have purchased a new board, and set it up with a new 2600k CPU, using manufactured set of 16GB sticks of 4x4 Corsair Vengence 1600 ram, with a Kuhler 920 HS. Also the PSU is a new Corsair AX850. I have a monitor attached with onboard MB VGA. I am checking the board and CPU for post before installing in case,. When I power on, the fans on HS are working, the monitor doesn't display and the there is no startup beep. The only thing displaying is Dr.Debug code 30. I have checked the power connetions, tried changing ram sticks around instead of using 4 I have tried with using 2 sticks in differnt slots 2 in red or 2 in black. I have powered off reset the CMOS, and I am still getting error code 30 and it is kind of vague for the description in the manual. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Solved by changing 8 pin cable on that came with PSU. Hopefully helps for somebody else

Can you tell me specifically what you did? I'm having same issue. I have my 8 pin coming out of cm 1000 gold and plugged into the 8 pin extender that came with psu. I route behind mobo to plug into 8 pin Power on mobo

Hi,

I've just started on my first PC build with an ASROCK Extreme 7 mobo which I've put together with CPU i5 2500K and Corsair Vengeance RAM as a test rig. but sadly am also seeing the Debug Code 30 that cohibaman reported. I do suspect that the RAM might be a problem as when the package arrived it was badly damage and had been re-bagged by the Post Office. However, before I go out and buy more I'd like to try the power supply fix that was mentioned; can someone explain in more detail what this fix is?

I'm slightly reeling from all the stories of problem builds I'm now seeing on forums, I thought, maybe naively that it was all going to slot together quite simply... !!!

I also reseated the ram moduals quite a few times, and had to really push down to get them seated, tried with 2 sticks first and got to post and then added the other 2 sticks of ram with having to reseat them so that they were recongnised

Check with Asrock website to make sure your ram is compatible for your MB and also check to see if your board is listed with Corsair's site for the ram you have, then just have a monitor (a video card if no onboard graphic card is available) connected with 2 sticks of ram installed, reseat the ram a few times, as it takes a lot of pressure to seat them, and try the 2 slots recomended in the manual and if this does not work try the other 2 slots. Once you get to post then you can add more ram, making sure it is the same as the installed sticks. It took me awhile but I got pass the "Code 30" with 4 sticks of ram seated, went to post then into Bios and never had any other problem. Also I read, if pins got bent when CPU got installed it could also cause this code....hopefully that isn't the problem but you might have to check it out!!

Thanks for getting back so quickly. I remember reading somewhere about using this RAM with MB but cannot find reference now. I checked the sites like you suggested and guess what, Corsair lists it as compatible but it's not listed as supported on the ASRock site!! I will try reseating memory like you suggest although I thought I was pressing down pretty hard already... I sure hope it's not the CPU pins as I guess this means MB is wrecked... Yes?

The AMI Debug code 30 is normal for a system waking up from the S3 sleep state - check the THE ACPI/ASL Checkpoints at the bottom of the list below.

This is the part that is missing from the ASROCK user manual. 30 is what I get from S3 with AA from a cold Boot.

List of Debug Codes

For your reference, here's a list of debug codes used by AMI for Sandy Bridge. Codes in this list correspond with the onboard Debug Led codes. Applies to Maximus IV Extreme, P8P67 series, Asrock P67 boards etc.

01 - System is entering S1 sleep state
02 - System is entering S2 sleep state
03 - System is entering S3 sleep state
04 - System is entering S4 sleep state
05 - System is entering S5 sleep state
10 - System is waking up from the S1 sleep state
20 - System is waking up from the S2 sleep state30 - System is waking up from the S3 sleep state40 - System is waking up from the S4 sleep state
AC - System has transitioned into ACPI mode. Interrupt controller is in APIC modeAA - System has transitioned into ACPI mode. Interrupt controller is in APIC mode

Hi all, just a quick update. Tried reseating the ram but same so ordered some new, different ram... Kingston - KHX1600C9D3K2/4GX - Which is on the ASRock site as compatible. Arrived today and guess what... POST... I am happy!

So, I don't know if it's the corsair was not compatible or was wrecked by the Post Office, my guess is the PO but you may want to check, double check with Corsair. But, I would say the Kingston feels far more solid, better made... The heatsink fins on the corsair are pretty flakey. The other thing is that my BeQuiet Dark Rock will now fit, the Vengence fins were too high.

No time to get any further today... Work :( but hopefully put it all together tomorrow... Will keep yo posted...
